Sydney-based interior design studio Atelier Alwill are renowned for crafting contemporary interiors with enduring relevance. The studio’s founder, Romy Alwill, has a background steeped in design. During high school, she lived in Tokyo with her family, which inspired her to pursue a career in design. After studying interior architecture back in Australia, she had a stint living and working overseas before returning home and taking up a position as interior design editor at Belle magazine. In 2005, her years of industry experience culminated in her starting her own studio. In conversation with Romy, we uncovered how her past has moulded her into the designer she is today and how she ultimately approaches design with a focus on the future.

Do you recall when you came across a website that had a sluggish design, poor navigation, no scroll bar, and a slow loading speed? You had to close that website and search your query on another much better site.

Well, the reason you did that is because the website owner didn’t pay attention to its design and how it could impact user experience or maybe he hired a poor designer and implemented poor SEO practices. In the long run, it could have dire consequences for his business if they don’t rectify this mistake.

Hidden deep in Tasmanian bush lies this creative designer’s playground. The luxurious shipping container house CNTNR designed by and belonging to Dion Agius, sits boldly under the trees with a sleek dark exterior. From the outside, it has been likened to a space odyssey monolith on its side but it’s on closer inspection that the detail and character of the home begins to reveal itself. 

Madrid’s Justicia barrio is a glittering tapestry of swish boutiques, neoclassical buildings, nightclubs, bistros, and tapas bars, of which most are remarkably modern in design. Plantea Estudio’s latest project is the exception. Designed like a dark and monolithic cave, the wine and small plates bar is situated on the ground floor of a neoclassical building—but it might as well have erupted out of a volcano.
